SKY - Odd and Balsam Duo Best-Of

[Odd]

Hello everyone !

Post Written by Odd

I'm proud to present our best of. At first, I'd like to explain more about this video. I always wanted to make a best of, but this is, for me, something like a final video. Written like this, you'll maybe think I stop stunting, that's a bit true, yeah. I will sometimes appear in some videos, more from WH when I'll be really motivated (a bit like this year). SKY, is a name we found maybe 2 weeks ago. This editing is focused on the sky, so this title fits with my editing.

Okay, so, this video is around 6 months of editing. We started to think about a best of in the begining of this year. Me and Balsam, we don't have enough variety in our stunts to make something really great. Balsam' style is oriented into technical and infy stunts, and mine is oriented bigairs. As we always wanted to make something together, and as ours styles are different, we though it was a great idea.

So, about this editing there are 2 reasons why it took all this time (I worked around 2 to 5 hours per day since september). I had, at first, to learn a lot of things in After Effects and editing in general. My idea was to create something different, a lot inspired by "Morning Never Came", a quake 3 video which really impressed me since all these years (Thanks to Negoxe, his editor, who helped me a lot). I got this idea to create something like this video before the release of Le Projet KO (that's old, yes  ), but I wasn't enough motivated.
The other reason was just it was long to edit like this. Just for one stunt, in the first part, I had to fraps it, put it in Vegas to sync cam angles with the song, render it, put it in after effects to make keying and trapcode particles things, render it again and put it again on vegas. vegas gave me a lot of issues, random crash and because of that, it was even longer 

Anyway, my editing dream is now reality, thanks a lot to Balsam to follow me in this long work, and accept this video which is a bit different than others stuntvids. 

The first part has only static cam angles, when I started this editing, I wanted to put trapcode effects in dynamic cam angles, but it was impossible for me. So, the first part is only what I wanted to create. The second part is a classic editing, not as I wanted but I'm still proud of my work.

I hope you'll like everyting

Nice vid by the way guys! I loved the look of the sky in this with the moon and such. The standouts were the leap by Balsam and the finisher.

My words won't describe how awesome this video is. All these amazing colors and effects, everything was polished to perfection. I won't even comment on stunts, all of them are amazing on it's own way. Goddamn be proud of that video, 6 months of editing, you can tell how much dedication went on making this. 1000000/10

This editing really fits the title I guess. Awesome work.

I really like these strokes, lines, particles (etc...) in the skys. They looks pretty cool and overall it's a nice idea from you. Also the Color Correction is on some points interesting. Kinda unique but sometimes on some points it's just too overbright and ugly with weird colors and so on. Well, I mean.. for me some scenes were hard to watch because of some ugly colors and a overbrighted sky
just take it as a little criticism. I don't mean it bad^^
well, the main idea on it is pretty good and a bit creative at all. But not perfect xD whatever. You did a fine job. The stunts was cool too btw.

[MxZz.]

Great job guys, loved it :3 Odd, I told you it'd be amazing. Great work, really. :3

I already seen some beta parts, that was good but final version is real Best.
 Anthony & Balsam did great job for this!
also Anthony did best editing for this + thanks for special thanks list / but i'm sad this is you guys final video.

Anthony i was fun & happy meet you on here. that was short time but.. you are one of the best guy on GTAS
Balsam 마찬가지로 님이랑 오랜기간 친하지 않았지만 잠시나마 대화도 하고 해서 정말 좋았습니다. 군대 정확히 언제가시는진 모르지만 몸건강히 다녀오시고요 다 잘되길 빌게요 수고하셨습니다.

Wow what an effort. The first part was really slow but it kept me interested because of the colors, cam angles, the sky and the effects. You can see how much time you've spent on this. Everything looks planned and flawless.

Amazing stunts also. Balsam's Monster stunt was epic, fits the video really well. Finisher is a classic but still awesome.

I think the effort will be paid off with at least 1 award.

wrarasta Dam you balsam 

How the hell did you guys bump that roof? I've tried it in every angle possible, idk if i'm just losing it, lol. go for the prec jeff

This music and atmosphere and CC and the background in the sky :O everything about this video..is just..wow. Mindblown really. Didn't see many of these stunts, has to be duo of the year.

Is this video about best Sky of San Andreas?

Nice duo guise. I don't know why you used map mods tho'

[Odd]

Thanks a lot everyone for all your great comments, that makes me really happy

Nice duo guise. I don't know why you used map mods tho'

I used map mods because, me, I don't have a wide stunter carreer. I mean, I don't participed to a lot of videos so without AC, it wouldn't be possible for me to make a best of ^^'

[PtRvY]

That was really a great video. Your styles are very different and it all blends together greatly in the video. It felt great to rewatch and remind myself of some of the classics you two landed in the past... And the editing + music was splendid!

9.5/10
